An MBA’s Mother Tongue-Part-2

The proficiency of the SIBM MBAs at jargon has often been claimed to have surpassed many others. Their exceptional skill has been falsely attributed to lack of understanding of most other skills of an MBA. However, such slanderous remarks are discounted by the size of the population that speaks SIBM-jargon and their success.

In fact, it is the fourth most widely spoken dialect of jargon amongst the MBA tribe of India.

Barely one week into their training, the SIBM students speak jargon better than their mother tongue. Their exceptional skill is not only due to the Desslers and Kotlers that they claim to read. The real credit goes to the exceptional mentoring they get from the faculty of international repute.

However, there are certain individuals in the teaching pantheon that regularly commit the blasphemy of speaking against the use of jargon. The foremost amongst these is a certain professor of statistics whose exceptional reputation as a genius is tarnished by his tirade against jargon. He calls it bandalbazi!! Such outrage! He says business decisions are taken based on facts. Yeah right!

The irony is that he has a demi-god status for one of most prolific speakers of jargon - the Operations clan.

At the fag end of two years, this author can boast few accomplishments worth any note, but that as a student of the august establishment (meaning SIBM, never mind if he called it “august”; that is for political correctness), he has a reasonable fluency at SIBM-jargon
